Remove a storey and start dancing (4,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
take the floor
'start dancing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'remove a storey' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'remove' could be 'take' (synonyms) and 'take' is present in the answer.
'storey' could be 'floor' (synonyms) and 'floor' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'the' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take the floor that I've seen before include "Rise in order to make a speech or motion" , "Rise to address a meeting" , "Start dancing" , "Start to dance" , "Rise to speak" .)
